Ezekiel 7:5

Judgment

3 The end is now upon you, and I will unleash My anger against you. I will judge you according to your ways and repay you for all your abominations.

4 I will not look on you with pity, nor will I spare you, but I will punish you for your ways and for the abominations among you. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’

This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Disaster! An unprecedented disaster — behold, it is coming!

6 The end has come! The end has come! It has roused itself against you. Behold, it has come!

7 Doom has come to you, O inhabitants of the land. The time has come; the day is near; there is panic on the mountains instead of shouts of joy.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
